The scalable syntheses of four oxygenated triterpenes have been implemented to access substantial quantities of maslinic acid, 3-epi-maslinic acid, corosolic acid, and 3-epi-corosolic acid. Semi-syntheses proceed starting from the natural products oleanolic acid and ursolic acid. Proceeding over five steps, each of the four compounds can be synthesized on the gram scale. Divergent diastereoselective reductions of α-hydroxy ketones provided access to the four targeted diol containing compounds from two precursors of the oleanane or ursane lineage. These compounds were subsequently evaluated for their ability to inhibit inflammatory gene expression in a mouse model of chemically induced skin inflammation. All compounds possessed the ability to inhibit the expression of one or more inflammatory genes induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13 acetate in mouse skin, however, three of the compounds, corosolic acid, 3-epi-corosolic acid and maslinic acid were more effective than the others. The availability of gram quantities will allow further testing of these compounds for potential anti-inflammatory activities as well as cancer chemopreventive activity.

Four new triterpenoids, 2-O-acetyl-3-O-(4′-O-acetyl)-α-l- arabinopyranosylmaslinic acid (1), 2-O-acetyl-3-O-(3′-O-acetyl)-α-l- arabinopyranosylmaslinic acid (2), 2-O-acetyl-3-O-(3′,4′-O-diacetyl) -α-l-arabinopyranosylmaslinic acid (3), and 3-O-(3′-O-acety
Convenient and chromatography-free partial syntheses of maslinic acid and augustic acid

A convenient and chromatography-free 4-step synthesis of analytically pure maslinic acid (1, 41.2%) from oleanolic acid has been developed. Slight variations in the final steps gave an excellent yield of isomeric augustic acid (7, 71.9%).
